ALMA: "“Community Campout"”

ALMA: You will never guess where

we're going to sleep tonight...

On a ROOF! I'll show you!

[door creaking]

ALMA/HOWARD: [gasp]

FRANKIE: Welcome to the Community Center Campout!

HOWARD: Whoa!

And I thought you could only camp in the woods!

FRANKIE: Nah, we roof camping.

And we still outside, under the stars.

ALMA: Isn't this sa-weet?

RAFIA: Hey, Alma!

Hi, Howard!

HOWARD: Hey, Rafia, where am I sleeping?

LUCAS: Howard, over here! You're in my tent.

HOWARD: Okay!

FRANKIE: '‘Eeeyyy, we got a campfire!

ALMA: Like a real fire?

FRANKIE: Nah, this one's paper,

so it's safe to have on the roof.

RAFIA: Check it out!

RAFIA: My mom and I made these.

ALMA: Ah-may-zing!

MRS. HUDA: Ah-may-zing and delicious!

[chuckles] Here.

This is called Moong Pakon Pitha.

I loved it when I was your age!

ALMA: Thanks, Mrs. Huda.

[crunching]

MRS. HUDA: Mmm,

and I love it at this age too! [chuckles]

RAFIA: Whaddya think?

ALMA: Yummy!

ALMA: Mmm! It's so good!

RAFIA: I know. I helped make it.

RAFIA/MRS. HUDA: [laughing]

[sleeping bag flops open]

ALMA: Look who's here!

RAFIA: Captain Banana!

Hey! Welcome to our tent!

ALMA: [silly voice] I'm way way way excited.

I've never slept outside before.

RAFIA: Me neither.

RAFIA: My tummy's feeling all flippy-floppy.

ALMA: I'm kinda nervous too.

But that's why Captain Banana's here.

Did you bring Boo Boo Fluffy?

RAFIA: Nah, I left it at home.

ALMA: Oh, you did?

RAFIA: Well... uhm..

FRANKIE: Alma! Rafia! Story time!

RAFIA: Uh, C'mon! Let's go.

ALMA: Huh.

Rafia always sleeps with Boo Boo Fluffy.

FRANKIE: Okay campers!

Ya'll can't have a campfire without a campfire story!

And I've got a good one!

ALMA: Is it a scary story?

FRANKIE: Mm-hmm!

ALMA: Is it way, way, way scary?

FRANKIE: Nah...

FRANKIE: It's only a little scary,

but it's a little funny too.

ALMA: I like to be a little bit scared,

but not too scared.

Let's hear it, Frankie!

FRANKIE: Alright,

but it's gonna get...

spoooky up in here!

KIDS: Oooh!

RAFIA: [giggles]

FRANKIE: So check it,

there was a pair of sneakers...

that was magical.

KIDS: Ooooh!

FRANKIE: [chuckles]

And could dance on their own.

LUCAS: Did they have moves like this?

LUCAS: Doo-do-do-doo! Doo-do-do-doo!

KIDS: [giggles]

FRANKIE: Yo man,

maybe not as smooth as that.

But they danced the mashed potato,

la pachanga, even tap danced.

♪♪♪

FRANKIE: [imitates tap dancing sounds] Tap, tap, tippity, tap tap!

Tippity-tap, tippity-tap, tippity-tap, ha! [continues]

ALMA: Uhh... Frankie?

FRANKIE: ...tap-tap-tippity... [stops short]

KIDS: [giggles]

FRANKIE: Oh, right.

FRANKIE: So these sneakers danced everywhere!

HARPER: Like at the playground?

FRANKIE: Mm-hmm.

ALMA: On this block?

FRANKIE: For sure!

HOWARD: On this roof?

FRANKIE: [sinister chuckle] Definitely on this roof!

ALMA: For real?

HOWARD: [gulps] Time out!

I need to get something.

FRANKIE: I gotchu.

HOWARD: Ah, much better.

Time in!

FRANKIE: But the sneakers only came out at night.

Tap, tap, tappity, tap, tap!

HARPER: [gasp]

FRANKIE: Time out?

HARPER: Yes, please.

FRANKIE: Anyone else?

LUCAS: Uh, me! ALMA: And me!

MRS. HUDA: Come here! [Speaking Bengali]

MRS. HUDA: I thought...

you might want Boo Boo Fluffy tonight.

ALMA: Aw, there's Boo Boo Fluffy!

RAFIA: Uhh.. here!

RAFIA: Oh wait.. It's okay.

ALMA: I like spooky stories...

but I like them a lot more when I can

snuggle with Captain Banana.

Kids: [sigh happily]

FRANKIE: All good?

KIDS: Mm-hmm!

ALMA: [whispering] Hey, Rafia,

what about Boo Boo Fluffy?

I thought I saw you with--

RAFIA: I'm fine without her.

FRANKIE: Sooo where was I?

Oh yeah!

Tap, tap, tappity, tap. Tap, tap...

Just when you thought

you could go to sleep...

[yells] TAP!!!

KIDS: Ahh!

LUCAS: And then what happened?

FRANKIE: No one could go to sleep.

They were all like,

"Man, I'm so tired!"

FRANKIE: But the sneakers wouldn't stop!

RAFIA: Huh?

FRANKIE: Tap, tap, tippity, tap.

FRANKIE: Tap, tap, tippity, tap, tap, tippity, tap, tap!

ALMA: [whispering] Boo Boo Fluffy!

FRANKIE: All night... and from everywhere!

FRANKIE: Tap, tap, tippity, TAP TAP! TIPPITY, TAP TAP TAAAAP!

FRANKIE: But then,

it stopped...

until...

[clattering dishes] KIDS /FRANKIE: [gasps]

MRS. HUDA: Oops! Sorry!

That was me, not the magic sneakers!

Kids: [giggle]

ALMA: You okay, Rafia?

RAFIA: All good.

Frankie, what happens next?

FRANKIE: Uhh...

The sneakers were covered with

mushy garden stuff like

tomatoes, cucumbers, and zucchini.

ALMA: Hmm,

maybe Rafia wants Boo Boo Fluffy

but doesn't want to

miss the story?

Oooh!

FRANKIE: [continues telling story]

ALMA: Mrs. Huda,

can I bring Boo Boo Fluffy to Rafia, please?

MRS. HUDA: That's a great idea.

Thanks, Alma.

FRANKIE [continues story]

FRANKIE: Fluffy slippers...

tap dancing shoes, uh uh uh...

bowling shoes, soccer shoes, penny loafers...

FRANKIE: Every kind of shoe...

ALMA: Huh,

guess she doesn't want her.

Nevermind,

thanks, Mrs. Huda.

MRS. HUDA: Okay!

FRANKIE: They danced all together!

All the magic shoes danced through the city

until they found a roof...

like this one...

where kids were camping out...

KIDS: [gasp]

FRANKIE: And they danced on top of their tents...

tippity TAP!

RAFIA: Oh!

FRANKIE: TAP,

TAP,

TIPPITY,

TAP...

ALMA: [shouting over Frankie's voice] RAFIA!

ARE YOU SURE

YOU DON'T WANT BOO BOO FLUFFY?

HOWARD: What or who is a Boo Boo Fluffy?

RAFIA: ALMA!! Ugh!!

ALMA: Whoa, what just happened?

I-I was just trying to help Rafia feel better.

ALMA: [sigh] I gotta think about this.

Kids: [sigh happily]

ALMA: Everyone felt better

holding the things they loved.

RAFIA: Nah, I left it at home.

ALMA: But Rafia didn't even bring

Boo Boo Fluffy.

Her mom did!

ALMA: I tried to help by asking if she wanted it.

And asking...

and asking... and asking!

Oh... I see what I did there.

I know what to do.

I've gotta talk to Rafia.

ALMA: Hi, Rafia...

RAFIA: Hey.

ALMA: How's it going?

RAFIA: Fine.

MRS. HUDA: [kisses Rafia]

ALMA: Sorry I kept bringing up Boo Boo Fluffy.

RAFIA: It's okay.

I love Boo Boo...

I've had her since I was a baby.

RAFIA: But she's torn and old and...

doesn't even fit me, see?

ALMA/RAFIA: [giggle]

RAFIA: I guess I didn't want

everyone to see her like this...

But having her does make me feel better.

ALMA: Just like I love Captain Banana

and our friends like their things...

RAFIA: You know, you're right!

RAFIA: Hey, Boo Boo Fluffy,

I need you for this story.

RAFIA: [silly voice] Yay! I love campfire stories!

RAFIA: Everyone,

meet Boo Boo Fluffy.

This was my hat when I was a baby and I LOVE her!

LUCAS: Aww! So snuggly! HARPER: It's so cute! HOWARD: Aww!

RAFIA: My mom made her for me!

MRS. HUDA: I keep telling Rafia

that I can make her a new Boo Boo Fluffy,

but she keeps saying "“no."”

RAFIA: Nope, THIS is my Boo Boo Fluffy!

Okay, Frankie,

I'm ready to finish the scary story.

HARPER: Finish the story! HOWARD: Yeah! C'mon, Frankie! LUCAS: Please! Please!

FRANKIE: You got it!

FRANKIE: Um... where was I?

KIDS: Tap, tap, tippity, tap...

RAFIA: On the tents!

FRANKIE : Right!

The kids peeked out of their tents

and saw the dancing shoes...

everywhere!

FRANKIE: Shoes on the left!

Shoes on the right!

FRANKIE: And then one kid, the bravest one,

shouted out: '‘DAAAAANCE BREAK!'

And they all got up and danced with the shoes!

[chuckles]

KIDS: DANCE BREAK!! [giggles]

RAFIA: Woo-hoo!

LUCAS: Alright! Okay! I see your moves!

ALMA: Captain Banana loves to break it down.

RAFIA: Uh-huh! Uh-huh! Yeah!

ALMA: And so does Boo Boo Fluffy! [chuckles]

RAFIA: Go, Boo Boo! Go, Boo Boo!

FRANKIE: Tap, tap, tippity, tappity, tippity, tap!
